What do you think the best Skynyrd song is!!!!!!!

BE A SIMPLE KIND OF MAN

**Kaiser of Arabia** · 02-19-2006, 20:20

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.

Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I can't change.
But please don't take it badly,
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you'll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.
Lord help me, I can't change.

2nd best is probably Simple Man, then Travelin Man, then Tuesday's Gone.

As the only one I remember is Sweet Home Alabama, I'll go with that one...

Simple man by far!

Best song is 'Travellin man'

Check out the 'Lyve from Steel Town CD/DVD...Johnnie sings the first verse and then Ronnie (on the screen) sings the second....very emotional...

Simple Man has the best message, but I think Sweet Home is the best song listed. Free Bird has always been a personal favorite. We used to jam it to death in every garage band I was in, back in the late 70s-early 80s.

I actually met Billy Powell (Skynyrd's keyboardist) at a Christian music festival in Kitchener, Canada. He was playing in a band called Vision at the time (1986). He's a cool dude.

Like most people who feel that music that sounds alot like country is unitersting, I only know Sweet Home Alabama, so I might as well vote for that.

I always liked Gimmie Three Steps as the most fun. But, the Best Song Title has to go to "FreeBird".

Someone once told me that while at a Styx concert the crowd was yelling for Freebird. Unfortunately is showed disrespect to Styx but also just how popular FreeBird was.
